Paula's first competition of the season

Last Saturday, Feb. 18th we headed to Mataró. Paula had her first gymnastics competition of the season. Only 5 girls in her level were signed up so it was sort of an "intimate" competition, but nice nonetheless, seeing the effort and willpower she puts in it, her enthusiasm and her liveliness :D

We got there and they started to warm up. The competition started. They did international order so they started with the vault. She did a good exercise :D

The much dreaded uneven bars, followed.... but she did it. It wasn't perfect, but... she got it done ;)

After the uneven bars, they went onto the balance beam. Always uncertain about it, as I think it's sort of a traitor and no matter how much you practice, you can always make a tiny mistake. But she did a great job with it, looked confident and happy :D

And last but not least, the floor, where she did a great routine. I was so proud of her, for putting it all, giving it all she had... what a star my girl is!

She turned 9 just 2 days before the competition and when it was over whe wanted more, LOL! Next one will be March 10-11 in Vic. We'll see what happens :D As long as she had the same entushiasm and drive I'm more than happy. I love you Paula!
